Oh very good. This is a brilliantly different take on the standard vampire theme.
My only issue is the line ‘he wondered dangerously’. You don’t need ‘dangerously’. It’s implied by the tension that you’ve already worked so well into the story that they are in danger. Also, people don’t wonder. They say or ask.
Aside from that I really enjoyed this :)

Of course people wonder! I wonder every day. So does my brother, but he is more annoying about it.

Not in literature they don’t.

This is a very well crafted beginning to a story. It actually reminds me a little of Number the Stars by Lois Lowry because it starts off with two friends racing each other after school and then they are stopped by two German officers.

But this is really interesting and I agree, definitely a different take on the vampire theme.

This story leaves me wanting more.

An intriguing world this must be.

Excellent presentation.

Interesting. Great way to make vampire a subtle and hated species.

Definately reading on.
